Very nice but some steel US Water cans would be a godsend. So many steel US fuel cans out there and hardly any water cans.

For what it's worth, Asuka (formerly Tasca) offers a US Jeerycan set that includes both fuel and water cans. Asuka's Jerrycans are quite nicely done, with slide-molded single-piece main body and separate top part, and accurate embossing for both types.

Though I'd have to check my refs (not at home right now), I suspect this is an early production water can. Given the similarity of the cap with that of the fuel can, they might be harder to spot on period photos, which makes it hard to tell how common they were. Notice that the cap has two "prongs" instead of the four prongs on fuel can caps though. Cheers!

While they're superficially similar, German water cans were stamped on the sides by not only what they were to hold, and amounts, but also which service they were -initially at least- issued to. They were then painted with a top to bottom and left to right white cross on both sides to further reduce confusion.
